The future of VRF (variable-refrigerant flow) technology took center stage during LG’s press breakfast Wednesday morning at the company’s booth (7923), where LG’s latest commercial and residential products were on display to AHR Expo attendees.
Mitsubishi Cooling and Heating celebrated the 10th anniversary of VRF zoning technology in the United States by hosting an event at Cipriani. In addition to food, drink, and entertainment, attendees learned more about the energy-efficient two-pipe heat pump systems that simultaneously heat and cool.
The variable-refrigerant flow (VRF) slice of the U.S. HVAC market was worth approximately $382.9 million in 2012, up a mere 23 percent from $311.7 in 2011, according to LG Electronics executives at a company press event held in October 2013.
Quick-Sling’s VRF Super Stand has four 12- x 12-inch feet, made from 7 gauge steel plate. It adjusts in ¼-inch and ½-inch increments. Quick-Sling VRF stands have two hat flange rails that are slotted to receive all major brands of VRF/VRV/HRV condensing units.
Designed and manufactured specifically for use in variable-refrigerant flow (VRF) installations, SlimDuct RD-Series and the PD-Series rooftop ducting and support systems can accommodate multiple linesets.
Partnership Will Create One of the World’s Largest Commercial Air Conditioning Providers
December 3, 2013
Johnson Controls Inc., Hitachi Ltd., and Hitachi Appliances Inc. today announced that the companies have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding for a transaction in which Johnson Controls will obtain a 60 percent ownership stake in Hitachi Appliances’ global air conditioning business.
Daikin Industries announced it is launching a residential brand in the U.S. and that the variable-refrigerant flow (VRF) systems will be manufactured in the U.S. for the first time.
Having already reached 4 percent saturation, industry experts are expecting the VRF slice of the market pie to grow at a marked pace in the next few years.
